Simone is a Victoria Artist and plays a Poeta XB Accordion. \nAlec Goldfarb is a Brooklyn based guitarist\, composer\, and Hindustani classical musician. Active in the NYC improvised and new music communities\, his work explores musical traits as historical vestiges of migrations\, colonialism\, geographies\, labor\, ritual. He holds a masters degree from CUNY Brooklyn College and B.A.’s from the University of Illinois in Music Composition/Theory and Philosophy\, and is currently on faculty at NYC Guitar School. \nAn eclectic blend of austere serenity and kinetic vibrancy\, Amelia Romano takes what is known about conventional harp and surpasses every time. Pulling from her roots in the cultural hotbed of San Francisco\, Amelia not only plays music from the repertoire but reprises them and creates originals. Latin American music\, jazz and classical are all genres that she touches but her music defines its own path. \n\nPREVIEW THE MUSIC: \n\n\n\n \n\n \n \nCOVID-19 PRECAUTIONS\n\nMasks are required inside at all time.

It is characterized by its great resistance. It has strong roots that can measure up to 70 meters (230 feet) deep\, this allows the tree to live up to one thousand years self-sufficiently feeding itself from the water in the subsoil. Therefore\, it survives the arid land and hostile climate even creating new ecosystems for the habitat of other species. \nOur ​Huarango is a new musical project born in the city of Oakland\, California based in Afro-Peruvian musical roots and the cultural heritage of its people.

SUMMARY:Pan-Latin Trio | Pedro José Pastrana
DESCRIPTION:Advance tickets are available online for both shows. It is advised to purchase advance tickets for this event. If tickets sell out online\, tickets will not be available at the door. \n\n\n\n\nPan-Latin Trio | Pedro José Pastrana\nA musical conversation between three different traditions (Puerto Rico\, Spain\, and Colombia) Pedro José Pastrana\, Javi Jimenez\, Iván Rondón \nFEATURING: \n\n\nPedro José Pastrana – Puerto Rican Cuatro\nJavi Jimenez – Guitar\nIván Rondón – Vocals \n\n\nFriday\, November 18th\, 2022\nTime: Door 7:00 pm\, Show 7:30 – 9:00 pm  \nAdmission: (Online) $20-30 / (Door) $30-$35 general \nMasks are required inside at all time. Proof of vaccination is required \n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nPedro José Pastrana A music creator re-thinking the concept of Puerto Rican music\, Pedro crosses over invisible frontiers with an (extra)ordinary approach to music. He aims at fusing the earthy quality of folk music with forward looking compositions and live performances\, reflecting the mixed identities of his heritage and influences. \nBorn and raised in Puerto Rico\, Pedro José Pastrana grew up in the jíbaro music tradition and surrounded by the vocabulary of other popular sounds. This upbringing would help him develop a keen instinct for playing in settings outside of his element. As an active member of the Bay Area music scene\, Pedro has collaborated with the John Santos Sextet\, Jerry Medina\, Juango Gutierrez\, Orestes Vilató\, Atabal\, among others. \nHis debut album\, Crónicas de la Pierna Inquieta consists of eight original tracks\, serving as snapshots of self-discovery\, inspired by the coming of age events of the past 13 years. \nJavi Jimenez Born in Madrid Spain\, Javi Jiménez has been playing and studying guitar for over 25 years. In 2007 he graduated from the Conservatory of Jazz Music in Barcelona Spain. During this time\, he discovered the music of Django Reinhardt\, falls in love with it and starts studying it. In 2010 Javi moved to California\, since then he has been performing & working as a studio musician. \nHe composes\, arranges and performs in his own band Barrio Manouche\, a Blend of flamenco\, gypsy jazz and Latin rhythms. The band had played at the Monterey Jazz Festival\, Outside Lands\, Django Festival and Stern Grove Festival and he had open for national and International acts such as Devotchka(Little Miss Sunshine)\, Pink Martini\, Boulou & Elios Ferré\, Gaby Moreno\, La Santa Cecilia. \nIván Rondón (from Barrio Manouche) is a singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist born and raised in Colombia who became a San Francisco Bay Area resident around 2013. After exploring different worldly styles of music throughout his career—West Andeas\, Flamenco\, tropical\, Cumbia\, Salsa\, Champeta\, etc.—Iván has developed his own fusion of sounds with one goal in mind: to make you dance. The result is a harmonious collaboration between the modern electronic movement and the Afro-Latino roots of music. You won’t be able to sit for this. \nIvan has lead projects such as Pasto Seco and Calmao and was also a co-producer on Rumbalu\, the first album by Oskar Ly & Rumbalu. Recently\, Ivan has had successful collaborations as a percussionist\, flutist\, and vocalist with both Barrio Manouche and his brand new electrónica selvática project Tigre Tigre. Tigre Tigre debuted at the Big Stick Festival the summer of 2022 and just played their second show at Reverbia\, the largest live music stage at Burning Man 2022. \nThroughout his career Ivan has performed in several festivals nationwide\, including High Sierra Music Fest\, Burning Man\, Stern Grove\, Joshua Tree\, Big Stick\, San Francisco Carnaval\, and Nocturna Wonderland. Within the Bay Area music scene\, Ivan’s highlights include historical venues such as The Independent\, Great American Music Hall\, The Chapel\, The New Parish\, SF Jazz Center\, and many more! \nPreview the Music:  \n \n \nLearn more: https://www.pjpastranamusic.com/  \nCOVID-19 PRECAUTIONS\n\nMasks are required inside at all time.

He has taken the harmonica to multiple musical journeys with different projects as a session musician as well as a composer. Angelo Just released his very first solo album that blends jazz\, psychedelic jams\, beautiful and soulful ballads as well as very high energy funk tunes. Angelo always brings new artists to every show so every event is different\, memorable and special\, and tonight Angelo is bringing you one of the most proficient bay area guitarists Matt Davis. \nMatt Daviswith is a guitarist with roots in Columbus\, Ohio and Atlanta Georgia. A year ago Matt reinvented his style to play slide and he now emulates the vocal style of Aretha Franklin\, Mariah Carey with a touch of classic blues slide guitar. \nDalyte Kodzis is a Polish operatic Mezzo-Soprano based in San Francisco.

Audiences enjoy the accessibility of the venues and the fun laid back approach\, as well as the diversity and quality in programming. \nIn San Francisco\, Classical Revolution hosts a regular series of performances as well as guest appearances around the Bay Area. \n \n“Cabin 19” Trio \nWorld & Balkan Music & more  \nCabin 19 began with three Balkan Camp enthusiasts during the pandemic\, performing online concerts from redwood cabins and scenic rooftops. After a few hit shows and gaining a reputation that no one was really expecting\, the three have found themselves performing together at live venues. All the more fun! Come and join us for a hafla\, a fiesta\, and a vechirka\, all rolled into one. \nFeaturing: \nAsaf Ophir – clarinet \nBalder ten Cate – cimbalom \nZina Pozen – accordion \nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nAsaf Ophir began his career as a woodwind player in musical theater\, performing on some of the most distinguished stages in Israel. Currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area\, he is often invited to collaborate with artists from a wide variety of cultures\, including Jewish\, Arabic\, European\, Persian\, Kurdish\, and others. Equally at home with classical\, jazz\, and world music\, Asaf has shared the stage with Miri Mesika\, Avi Kushnir\, Galit Giat\, David De’or\, Ustad Mahwash\, Rana Farhan\, and Barbara Streisand. \nZina Pozen  Originally from Moldova/Ukraine\, Zina grew up in a family of musicians\, playing classical piano as a child. Attending EEFC Balkan music camps inspired her to pick up the accordion. She has performed with Seattle’s Bucharest Drinking Team\, Orchestra Euphonos\, Moonshine Jelly\, Jonnie Pekelny\, Metanastys\, Cabin 19\, and other groups of musicians and friends.  \nBalder ten Cate born into a musical family\, was steeped in eastern European music from a young age.

More info here. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nKenya Moses trio \n“Kenya Moses embodies the essence of Brazil’s bossa nova in her warm and heartfelt sound. Born in the United States\, yet connected to her Afro-Brazilian roots\, Kenya fell in love with the sounds of Brazil after 15 years performing as a classical vocalist\, flutist and professional dancer. Kenya’s vocal resonance has allowed her the opportunity to perform throughout the Western and Eastern United States\, in addition to Italy and France. With acclaimed musicians by her side\, Kenya will release her first album of bossa nova duets in late 2022.” \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nPOETRY\n  \n \nVirginia Barrett  \nIs a poet\, writer\, artist\, editor\, and educator.   Her six books of poetry include Between Looking (Finishing Line Press\, 2019) and Crossing Haight—San Francisco poems (Jambu Press\, 2018). \nVirginia Barrett’s six books of poetry include Between Looking (Finishing Line Press\, 2019) and Crossing Haight—San Francisco Poems (Jambu Press\, 2018).

Website: www.virginiabarrett.com  \n  \n  \n  \nLIVE PAINTING\n\nYtaelena Lopez \n“As a visual storyteller\, I want to build a collective narrative to allow the public to add their own interpretation. Sometimes I am straightforward when I deliver the message\, but usually a second gaze is needed to understand the intention of the piece. \nI plot an imaginary cartography of our human condition. To achieve that\, I twist the lines of the subjects into topographic landscapes. This style\, which I call Wildlines”. \nYtaelena comes from a very diverse background\, covering journalism\, art history\, literature\, linguistics and technology. This allows her to use a sheaf of theories and disciplines to assemble deux-ex-machina installations and mixed media art that connects with the public in a visceral way. \nShe has been a featured artist during stARTup Art Fair SF\, in 2015\, an Artspan Artist in Residence (2011)\, a finalist in the SECA SFMoma in 2012 and exhibited at the DeYoung Museum in 2020. Visit her website here.  \nCURRENT WINDOW EXHIBITION:\n\nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution by  Adrian Arias\nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution\, inspired by Adrian Arias’ lucid dream of a fortune teller and cards embellished with images of viruses\, masks\, Black Lives Matter\, marches\, and protests\, is a unique 81-card Tarot deck.

Six times at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts\, and two times at the de Young Museum and one time at SOMArts. \nILLUSION is an amazing experience\, sharing the art\, the momentum\, the projects and ideas around us\, the creative process of individuals and groups.

A vocalist\, multi-instrumentalist and composer\, her songs are innovative and expressive of a world where cultures coexist\, where fear is transformed by compassion\, where we learn to truly love ourselves\, and where we view the world from an empathetic and holistic state of mind. She holds a BA in Music from SFSU\, is a multi-instrumentalist\, songwriter\, recording artist\, and has been performing and teaching for over 20 years. While mostly focusing on her original music and son jarocho (traditional music from Veracruz\, Mx)\, she also has extensive experience in various other genres such as salsa\, jazz and folk. She grew up in the Central Valley of California\, has been living in the Bay Area since 2002\, and has been studying and collaborating with musicians from Mexico since 2012. \nYou can listen to her most recent album “Nuevos Caminos” and find out more at MonicaMariaMusic.com LISTEN on Spotify\, FOLLOW on Instagram \n  \n​​The Genie \nis an avant-garde guitarist\, multi-instrumentalist and live-looping innovator from San Francisco. A full-time performer for twenty years\, he combines a variety of genres\, ranging from hip hop\, rock\, reggae\, and electronic\, with traditional sounds including flamenco\, jazz\, traditional Middle Eastern and Asian concepts. One of the most original and unique performers in the world today\, he is the inventor of “g-mixing”\, a looping style that emulates traditional DJ remixing techniques using hardware in place of software. His shows combine performance art with musical innovation in highly complex but universally enjoyable experience. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLucia Lilikoi \nwill be playing songs from her fourth album\, “LUZ.” Across ten songs\, Lucia reveals her interpretation of the element of light\, offering a soothing balm\, through the theme of alliance with nature. LUZ was produced\, engineered and mixed by Lucia\, in her debut as producer/engineer. She is a singer-songwriter\, multi-instrumentalist\, producer and sound-healer born in Sevilla\, Spain\, living in the Bay Area. “Lucia’s music is pure heart nectar. She sings from the depths of her ancient soul and her voice transmits a rare beauty and refinement. Her music is not only crafted from decades of focused training and cultivation\, but is most distinctly soul medicine.” \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nPOETS\nTongo Eisen-Martin \nOriginally from San Francisco\, Tongo Eisen-Martin is a poet\, movement worker\, and educator. His latest curriculum on extrajudicial killing of Black people\, We Charge Genocide Again\, has been used as an educational and organizing tool throughout the country.

Her work explores human singularity and relationships through charcoal drawing\, painting and mixed media with elements from nature. Mara was born in California\, grew up in Southern Spain and moved back to the USA as an adult. Incommensurability and a search for connection are always subtly present in her work. In her portraiture\, Mara enjoys the process of learning from the individual as well as from a phenomenological exploration of the human form. Recently Mara has been working on a series of drawings reflecting on the effects of the pandemic on her community. www.maraleabrown.com \n \nPancho Pescador  \nis a visual artist and muralist from Chile. He attended Escuela de Bellas Artes in Valparaíso and Viña del Mar\, where he was introduced to printmaking and other mediums.

He was quickly identified by senior artists\, Carlos Donaire and Guillermo Frommer\, who invited him to participate in shows in Chile and abroad. In 1995\, Pescador immigrated to the Bay Area\, and it is here where he developed a passion for street art. Soon after\, he began to work on public art projects\, primarily through murals.

SUMMARY:Cello for Peace with Ian Maksin (TWO SHOWS)
DESCRIPTION:WORLD-ACCLAIMED CELLIST RETURNS to SAN FRANCISCO with a CONCERT to SUPPORT PEACE in UKRAINE\n\n\n\n\n\n*We have missed our packed events\, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic and with respect to the safety of our staff\, volunteers & artists\, we must operate at a limited capacity. We can only accommodate 25 guests per show. Please purchase your tickets soon.   \n\n\n*Please be advised that no concessions will be served during the event* \nAdvance tickets are available online for both shows. It is advised to purchase advance tickets for this event. If tickets sell out online\, tickets will not be available at the door. \n\n FEATURING:\nIan Maksin – cello\, vocals \nCellist\, composer and multilingual vocalist singing in 30 languages Ian Maksin returns to San Francisco as part of the North American tour to support peace in Ukraine. Portion of the ticket and merch proceeds will go to humanitarian relief funds. Ian will sing in Ukrainian\, Polish\, French\, Italian\, Yiddish\, Farsi\, Armenian\, and several other languages and will also share original instrumental music from his last year’s release “The Alchemist”\, as well as some brand new compositions that haven’t been recorded yet. \nABOUT IAN MAKSIN: \nBREAKING BOUNDARIES both musical and geographical\, cellist\, composer and multilingual vocalist IAN MAKSIN has created his own unique style by blending elements of different genres and traditional music from around the globe in a new way using his cello as the main unifying force. \nONE-MAN ORCHESTRA: In addition to cello\, he used an electronic device called the loop pedal\, which allows him to create “loops” or layers by recording and replaying his own playing in real time. \nSINGING IN 30 LANGUAGES: What began as a hobby and a passion for linguistics and travel has become part of a unique concert experience. At this time Ian Maksin sings in Ukrainian\, Polish\, Russian\, English\, Farsi\, Armenian\, French\, Italian\, Arabic\, Hebrew\, Mongolian\, Bambara (one of the tongues spoken in West Africa) and many other exotic languages. Most of this repertoire was amassed by Maksin during his world travels\, jam sessions and collaborations with local musicians. Many of his original songs and instrumental compositions are also infused with flavors of ethnic music from countries and regions where he drew inspiration from: Mongolia\, West Africa\, Middle East\, the Balkans\, Andalusian flamenco. \nTHE GLOBAL MUSICIAN: Ian Maksin was born in Leningrad\, former USSR\, into a multinational family and grew up absorbing many cultures and traditions from an early age. He began playing guitar and piano at age 3 and cello at age 6 at the School for Gifted Children in Leningrad and then came to the USA at 16 to continue studies at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. After working for many years in the classical genre including a three-year tenure with the New World Symphony in Miami Ian has decided to look for his own musical path. His diverse musical experience\, including playing rock and blues guitar and passion for jazz and world music has allowed him to take the cello to a new dimension and develop his own distinct style as a musician and composer. In Ian’s own words: “At some point I realized that music is much more than mere entertainment. Music is one of most powerful and unifying forces in the world\, capable of healing\, inspiring\, bringing people together and bringing peace among them. I believe that cello will save the world”. \nPreview the music:  \n \nLearn more: Website | YouTube | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\nTime: (First Show) 6:30 pm doors\, 7:00 pm show / (Second Show) 8:30 pm doors\, 8:45 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $25-30 / (Door) $35 general\, $25 student & senior with valid ID\nNote: A limited quantity of additional tickets will be available for purchase at the door unless otherwise noted on the Facebook event page that the show is SOLD OUT. \nPurchase advance tickets for this event:\nNote: Purchasing an advance ticket guarantees admission but does not guarantee seats.

They have crafted original and genre bending songs with latin american roots. Their setup is intimate but playful.

Her musical style expresses the union of American Roots and Iranian Tradition\, a blend of folk\, soul and blues infused with Iranian vocals\, melodies and poetry. She combines her study of Iranian Classical music with her decades of experience in American songwriting craft to tell the story of her unique perspective with longing\, hope\, humor and depth. Adrienne is a multi-instrumentalist and accompanies herself on guitar\, piano\, and Iranian Setar. She will showcase several songs she has composed during the pandemic and a few re-imagined classics. \n \nPedro José Pastrana | Puerto Rican Cuatro \nMusic for an (extra) ordinary future with an instrument from the past \n“What does it mean to create and play Puerto Rican music? To capture that duality\, the compositions for this performance make use of cultural elements but outside of their traditional context\, by combining the melodic elements of folk music\, jazz harmonies and Afro-Puerto Rican rhythms”. \nFeaturing: \nPedro José Pastrana – Cuatro \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nPedro José Pastrana grew up playing the national instrument “cuatro”. His passion for discovery got him to move out his native Puerto Rico and travel different countries allowing him to explore other musical cultures. After years as a sideman\, all of these collaborations have been the spark for this original project\, fusing all of his influences into one story. With a passion for genre bending rooted in folk music\, Pedro brings his dynamism to the fore and shows the versatility of the instrument in popular and world music.” \n \nThe Making-of “THIS WORLD IS YOURS” \nSneak preview of Mostly Kosher’s newest album\, ​​Experimental Judaic cultural genre & Klezmer-Rock \nIn this engagement\, Mostly Kosher’s bandleader Leeav Sofer and premiere violinist and co-founder\, Janice Mautner Markham\, will guide the audience through multiple songs off of the album and the multiple layers of cultural history that informed each original\, new song. This musical journey will explore ties to historical composers\, Jewish diaspora languages as well as the social justice themes tied to the band’s outreach work in Skid Row. \nFeaturing: \nleeav sofer – Vocals\, Piano\, Accordion\, Clarinet \nJanice Mautner Markham – Violin \,Vocals \nALBUM DESCRIPTION: \nMOSTLY KOSHER\, the acclaimed Los Angeles Klezmer-Rock band\, boldly redefines their musical genre with a much anticipated 2nd album\, This World is Yours. The ensemble takes the listener through a timeline of history with modern protest music\, toppling norms of intolerance and indifference. Birthed into an urban jungle of street Jewish folk music\, we are led through deserts\, wars\, failures\, triumphs\, love & survival.  \nThe first song begins with footsteps into a shtetl (village) leading us into the depths of old world Judaic folk music\, tavern-style! The album’s odyssey quickly twists into the modern era\, inspired by the great rock operas of Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust and Decemberists’ Hazards of Love\, to reimagine messages of social justice\, mutual understanding\, sabotaged love and unstoppable joy. The album stands as a natural successor to the Judaic roots genre\, and reminds society to pass this age-old message on to future generations: “You save one life\, you save the world” – The Talmud. The title track is amply named: this world is yours. \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nLed by frontman Leeav Sofer\, one of Jewish Journal’s “30 under 30” most accomplished professionals in the Los Angeles Jewish diaspora\, Mostly Kosher is comprised of some of the highest regarded Los Angeles musicians: violinist Janice Mautner Markham\, drummer Eric Hagstrom\, bassist Adam Levy\, accordionist Gee Rabe\, trombonist Taylor Covey and Aníbal Seminario on clarinet and sax.  \n  \nCURRENT EXHIBITION: Paintings & Tarot in Pandemic and Revolution by Adrian Arias\n  \nPaintings in Pandemic and Revolution | Adrian Arias\nThe current exhibition on view in walls of The Red Poppy Art House \n \nARTIST STATEMENT \nAdrián believes that poetry is in constant motion\, and that feeds on each discipline to continue among us. Sometimes it is a photograph of a feather lying on the shore\, sometimes a book-object that seems to tell us the future\, sometimes the body moving slowly between blue lights to go dancing with paper and umbrellas\, without rain. The absurd\, the light\, the sensual\, the shadow\, the dreams\, are often elements in the daily life of Adrian\, who in addition to declaring himself a Poet in motion\, is an art teacher and a cultural organizer of events. \n \n“During 2020 Adrian returned to an old style of painting that he used in Lima\, Peru in the 80s\, one that was baptized as” Virus Style “\, because it is based on painting and spontaneous writing\, which grows rapidly with the motivation of what we hear or see around us. \nThese works are the result of collaborations and virtual conversations with friends from different parts of the world. Adrian was connected with poets and musicians from Argentina\, Mexico\, Nicaragua\, Peru\, and various states of the USA\, creating several of the pieces in this exhibition live\, online. In addition\, Adrian spent some time creating his “Monsters of the Day”\, showing his feelings about the pandemic\, which are also part of this exhibition. \n  \nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution | Adrian Arias\n \nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution\, inspired by Adrian Arias’ lucid dream of a fortune teller and cards embellished with images of viruses\, masks\, Black Lives Matter\, marches\, and protests\, is a unique 81-card Tarot deck. It is accompanied by an exquisite book of poetry\, created by 67 internationally-recognized artists and poets (24 visual artists\, 43 poets) with deep ties to the San Francisco Bay Area\, who span three generations. These award-winning poet laureates\, novelists\, authors\, muralists\, painters\, graphic artists\, performance artists\, composers\, musicians\, and dancers are each committed to social\, environmental\, food\, public health\, and climate justice\, and have used their powerful talents to create tarot images and poems in response to the critical times we are living in.

Dating back centuries\, with extraordinarily elaborate rules & systems to govern pitch\, rhythm and structure\, Indian Classical Music is one of the most ancient classical traditions on earth and at the very heart and soul of Indian music is the raga. The music is completely improvised and the raga slowly expands from a single note outward to complex waves of rhythms and virtuosic passages. Lal will also present some composition(s) from various forms of Indian classical\, folk and devotional repertoire which will reflect strong influences from his experiences in jazz\, Irish music and free improvisation. With his ingenious interpretations of Indian Classical Music on a Western instrument\, Utsav Lal’s  music is captivating with great range and variety in tempo\, dynamics and emotion and is known for its powerful intensity. \nFeaturing: \nUtsav Lal – Piano \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nIndian pianist/composer UTSAV LAL\, often known as the ‘Raga Pianist’ is recognised as the rarest of pianists. Stunning the world with his innovative handling of Indian Classical Music on a Western instrument\, The Irish Times describes Utsav Lal as “a fleet-fingered performer whose best moments can be both highly evocative and dazzling.” Lal’s ground-breaking work has garnered an impressive career spanning two decades\, with solo performances at world famous venues like Carnegie Hall (New York)\, Southbank Centre (London)\, Kennedy Center (Washington DC)\, Steinway Hall (New York)\, Asia Society (HongKong)\,  Arts Center (Melbourne). \nTreading the careful line between an ancient tradition and the innate desire for innovation with utmost respect\, Lal’s music is acclaimed for its sincerity\, depth and powerful intensity. With unfailing clarity of technique and  rhythmic virtuosity\, his work is deeply influenced by Dhrupad and  gains inspiration from a vast array of sources such as The Necks\, Thelonious Monk\, Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou and Cecil Taylor. Lal has challenged commonly understood ways of improvisation to develop his own unique voice for the piano\, taking stage at leading festivals including Novara Jazz (Italy)\, San Francisco Silent Film (USA) AsiaTopa Festival (Australia)\, Masters of Tradition (Ireland). \nEndorsed as Young Steinway Artist\, TiE Aspire Young Indian Achiever\,\, Yamaha Jazz Scholar\, Lal has been recognized for his extensive collaborative work with Irish\, Scottish\, Jazz and Experimental artists including leading names like  Winifred Horan\, Martin Hayes\, Dennis Cahill\, Australian Contemporary Circus Theatre CIRCA\, Talvin Singh\, George Brooks\, Rajna Swaminathan. Lal has 7 solo record releases which include a historic world’s first album on the microtonal “Fluid Piano” (2016). Lal holds a Masters in Contemporary Improvisation (New England Conservatory of Music)\, Bachelor’s in Jazz (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland)  and is a disciple of  Dhrupad vocalist Ustad F. Wasifuddin Dagar. \n  \n \nAmy D.  Vocalist +Songwriter \nA dream-like fusion of jazz\, soul\, R&B\, and world music with voice\, vocal looping\, and piano for an intimate solo performance  \nFeaturing: \nAmy D – Piano\, Vocals  \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nThe soulful\, effortless sounds of vocalist and songwriter Amy D. envelop listeners in a dream-like fusion of jazz\, soul\, world\, and R&B styles\, bridging genres and generations alike. \nCombined with inspiring lyrics and heartfelt storytelling\, her music is a timeless soundscape inviting reflection\, healing\, and growth.

Aldana is a multi-genre accompanist and educator based in Berkeley California. As a young musician\, Aldana exposed himself to many styles\, and joined many groups\, from Cumbia and Salsa to Rock\, Funk and Metal.  In the summer of 2012\, Aldana toured and performed in Mexico and the US on bicycle with American Folk band “Los Ginger Ninjas”\, while carrying their gear on bikes. Seeking musical development\, Aldana moved to California. \nIn 2013 Aldana was introduced into the Flamenco world by Maestro Guitarist Jason McGuire “El Rubio”\, who became his teacher and mentor\, and took on The Jason McGuire Trio as a full time project\, resulting in an album. \nAldana has been 1st call percussionist to several Flamenco dance companies such as Caminos Flamencos led by Emmy Award winning Yaelisa\, Theater Flamenco\, La Tania Flamenco\, Agua Clara Flamenco\, and others.

His original music is strongly influenced by Latin rhythms and grooves\, Flamenco\, Venezuelan Music and Jazz.  \nHe studied Flamenco with teachers Carlos Zárate and Emilio Maya\, and Flamenco Guitar at Carmen de las Cuevas School (Granada\, Spain\, 2001) and Jazz guitar with Johann Espinoza\, founder of Bajo Sospecha group (Mérida\, Venezuela\, 1999). \nHe has worked in the following projects: Rostros concert for Group and Symphonic Orchestras with the Latifonia Foundation (Venezuela\, 2008); live music and dance group Raíz de Agua (Venezuela\, 2004) under the direction of Juliana Mendonca; Afro-Venezuelan rock group Mirada Interna (Venezuela\, 2015)\, directed by Jorge Espinoza\, among others.

It captures the suffering\, nostalgia\, intensity and fire of the Argentine people.  \nIn this performance\, Pablo will perform a part of Horacio Salgán piano transcriptions\, which is the result of almost two years of decoding this rare recording into a studio album and a music book with all the scores and research notes of the project. The repertoire will feature traditional tango and some of the original work by the Maestro. \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nPablo Estigarribia is a Latin Grammy nominee and world-renowned tango pianist\, arranger and composer. Like many artists of this genre\, he began his training as a classical musician and soon branched out into the world of tango. He studied at the National Conservatory in Buenos Aires\, where he won the Bienal Juvenil National Competition for Young Artists. After graduating\, he spent several years on the frenzied performance circuit in Argentina\, collaborating with the Congress Chamber Orchestra\, the National Radio Orchestra\, and the Chaco Symphony\, among many others. Seeking to broaden his musical horizons beyond the classical realm\, Estigarribia took a brief detour through jazz and then discovered tango in 2005. He quickly won the Orquesta Escuela de Tango scholarship and performed with this superb ensemble under the direction of Maestro Emilio Balcarce. Estigarribia continued working with Balcarce shortly thereafter when he first toured Europe. \nEstigarribia rapidly established himself as a nuanced and masterful tango performer in Germany\, France\, Belgium\, Japan\, Russia\, Finland\, Canada\, the United States and Cuba. He has been featured in over a thousand concerts\, joining Argentine tango legends like Maria Graña\, Victor Lavallén\, Leopoldo Federico\, Nestor Marconi\, Horacio Cabarcos\, Emilio Balcarce and many others. Estigarribia’s album Tangos Para Piano (EPSA) won the prestigious 2015 Gardel Prize for Best Tango Album by a New Artist. After receiving wide acclaim for this album\, he earned coveted recognition from the Argentine tango industry as an expert in the art of tango music. He is a recipient of the Argentine Tango Society’s Medal of Honor for his educational forays at the Stowe Tango Music Festival (Vermont\, USA) in multiple years. Estigarribia’s ascendancy brought him to Japan in 2016 where he was lauded in the Tokyo press following his performances. He then became sought after in the United States\, where he played in New York’s famous Blue Note Jazz Club. He has made performance and interview appearances on NBC\, Univision\, Telemundo\, and The Huffington Post. Estigarribia splits his time between his native Buenos Aires\, Argentina\, and New York City. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nIstanbul Connection \nOld school Balkan Latin folk music in a funky Bay Area context \nFeaturing: \nKata Miletich – vocals\nRaul Vargas – vocals and cajon \nHaluk Kelecioglu – vocals\, oud and violin\nGreg Jenkins – vocals\, clarinet and saxophone\nDanny Cao – trumpet\nJoaquin Zamudio – bass\nBob San – guitars\nMelissa Cruz – drums and flamenco dance \n  \nABOUT THE PROJECT: \nIstanbul Connection is a Bay Area musical collective formed in 2015 when 13 members of the hottest Balkan and Latin bands were gravitationally pulled to visit the city of Istanbul. With a mind towards cross-cultural connection and sonic expansion\, these die-hards flew 7\,000 miles to represent a piece of the Bay Area music scene. In the process\, they have cemented themselves as a supergroup of groove and since their epic beginnings\, the band has performed sold-out-show after sold-out-show. They continue to draw their inspiration from the Turkish Maqam\, Flamenco\, Rumba\, Balkan\, and Cumbia they are so deeply rooted in. \n  \nCURRENT EXHIBITION: Paintings & Tarot in Pandemic and Revolution by  Adrian Arias\n  \nPaintings in Pandemic and Revolution | Adrian Arias\nThe current exhibition on view in walls of The Red Poppy Art House \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nARTIST STATEMENT \nAdrián believes that poetry is in constant motion\, and that feeds on each discipline to continue among us. Sometimes it is a photograph of a feather lying on the shore\, sometimes a book-object that seems to tell us the future\, sometimes the body moving slowly between blue lights to go dancing with paper and umbrellas\, without rain. The absurd\, the light\, the sensual\, the shadow\, the dreams\, are often elements in the daily life of Adrian\, who in addition to declaring himself a Poet in motion\, is an art teacher and a cultural organizer of events. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n“During 2020 Adrian returned to an old style of painting that he used in Lima\, Peru in the 80s\, one that was baptized as” Virus Style “\, because it is based on painting and spontaneous writing\, which grows rapidly with the motivation of what we hear or see around us. \nThese works are the result of collaborations and virtual conversations with friends from different parts of the world. Adrian was connected with poets and musicians from Argentina\, Mexico\, Nicaragua\, Peru\, and various states of the USA\, creating several of the pieces in this exhibition live\, online. In addition\, Adrian spent some time creating his “Monsters of the Day”\, showing his feelings about the pandemic\, which are also part of this exhibition. \n  \nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution | Adrian Arias\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution\, inspired by Adrian Arias’ lucid dream of a fortune teller and cards embellished with images of viruses\, masks\, Black Lives Matter\, marches\, and protests\, is a unique 81-card Tarot deck. It is accompanied by an exquisite book of poetry\, created by 67 internationally-recognized artists and poets (24 visual artists\, 43 poets) with deep ties to the San Francisco Bay Area\, who span three generations. These award-winning poet laureates\, novelists\, authors\, muralists\, painters\, graphic artists\, performance artists\, composers\, musicians\, and dancers are each committed to social\, environmental\, food\, public health\, and climate justice\, and have used their powerful talents to create tarot images and poems in response to the critical times we are living in. This deck is a bold expression of hope\, resilience\, resistance\, and the courage to continue forging a path to justice and love. \nPresented in partnership with Red Poppy Art House\, Nomadic Press\, and Baldocchi Projects & Collaborations.

These humble monsters are always looking for the love\, beauty\, and fun in music\, and revel in the discovery of new crossroads that tie us all together in song and spirit. They will be joined by the cuddly Cthulhu of dancing\, Elizabeth Strong\, who’s deadly undulations smite the eyes and gently join the fight for beauty and harmonious exploration. \nFeaturing: \nDan Cantrell – accordion\, piano and voice \nRachel Valfer Sills – oud and voice \nFaisal Zedan – percussion and voice \nElizabeth Strong – dance  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nAccordionist/pianist/saw player Dan Cantrell is an Emmy winning composer known for his innovative and energetic approach to documentary film and television scoring.

This means my work is often driven by subject matter that I have personal experience with; subjects from my daily life that challenge me. Paper trash\, found objects\, and site-specific materials become important in my work because of the experiences they reference. In public works\, I produce images with the materials brought to the project by participants\, and the result is the product of some form of dialogue. In my paintings and sculptures\, the materials are borrowed from everyday life and are transformed\, or are represented as subject matter. In either case\, I enjoy finding meaning in the little bits of refuse that are leftover from my daily life. \n  \nONLINE EVENT DETAILS \nTime: October 2nd\, 2021\, 7:00 pm -10:00 pm  \nAdmission: Free (donations are encouraged) \nTune in 10 minutes before each event starts to test your devices for connection. \nThe event will be streamed live through the Red Poppy Art House Facebook page \n\n \n  \nDONATE

This means my work is often driven by subject matter that I have personal experience with; subjects from my daily life that challenge me. Paper trash\, found objects\, and site-specific materials become important in my work because of the experiences they reference. In public works\, I produce images with the materials brought to the project by participants\, and the result is the product of some form of dialogue. In my paintings and sculptures\, the materials are borrowed from everyday life and are transformed\, or are represented as subject matter. In either case\, I enjoy finding meaning in the little bits of refuse that are leftover from my daily life. \n  \nONLINE EVENT DETAILS \nTime: June 5th\, 2021\, 7:00 pm -10:00 pm  \nAdmission: Free (donations are encouraged) \nTune in 10 minutes before each event starts to test your devices for connection. \nThe event will be streamed live through the Red Poppy Art House Facebook page \n\n \n  \nDONATE

Ami received her Master of Fine Arts from the California Institute of the Arts. Her performance and recording credits include theater\, television (NBC). She is a freelance performing artist as well. She is endorsed by Latin Percussion (LP) and Rhythm Tech. \nHer last album\, História do Choro with Duo Violão Brasl + 1 was released in 2019 and was celebrated as one of the best jazz albums from the Bay Area for 2019. (Andy Gilbert\, San Jose Mercury News) She is a two-time San Francisco Arts Commission Individual Artist Recipient 2018 and 2020. \nSaxophonist/clarinetist Harvey Wainapel has his feet firmly planted in two musical worlds. His jazz experience has led to performances and/or recordings with the likes of McCoy Tyner\, Kenny Barron\, Joe Henderson\, and the Metropole Orchestra. He has toured internationally with Ray Charles\, Joe Lovano\, and Airto Moreira/Flora Purim. \nClaudia Villela’s voice gets all the attention\, and it’s easy to understand why. Her glorious five-octave instrument is one of the wonders of jazz\, lithe and startlingly beautiful in every register. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro\, she sings mostly in Portuguese\, interpreting lyrics with keen emotional insight and supple rhythmic command. A supremely inventive scat singer\, she has honed a vivid vocabulary of sounds that can evoke the hollow thump of a tabla drum\, the muted trumpet of Miles Davis\, the insistent twang of a berimbau\, the ethereal call of a flute\, or the distortion-laden Stratocaster licks of Jimi Hendrix. In recent years\, Villela’s international reputation as a performer and composer has continued to grow through appearances at the world’s most prestigious jazz festivals and clubs. \nA master of both 6 and 7 string guitars\, Rogério Souza is one of the foremost representatives of the music of Rio de Janeiro. Rogério is constantly producing and performing in concerts and events that showcase traditional Brazilian music\, especially Samba and Choro. He has worked with a multitude of world class Brazilian Musicians as musical director and producer for concerts\, TV shows\, CDs\, and DVDs. Some of these artists include: Baden Powell\, Paulinho da Viola\, Sivuca\, Ney Matogrosso\, Altamiro Carrilho\, João Bosco\, Paulo Moura\, Ivan Lins\, Guinga\, Turíbio Santos\, Rafael Rabello\, Cristovão Bastos\, Nó em Pingo D’agua\, Época de Ouro\, Elizeth Cardoso\, Elza Soares\, João Nogueira\, Dona Ivone Lara\, Nelson Cavaquinho\, Guilherme de Brito\, Delcio Carvalho\, Martinho da Vila\, and Zeca Pagodinho. \nEdinho Gerber possesses a rich musical vocabulary developed in the two countries where he was raised: the United States and Brazil. Navigating effortlessly between the genres of choro\, jazz\, samba\, and blues\, he is always in search of the intersection points within his dual cultural identity. A staple in the Chicago music scene for many years\, he was a highly in-demand sideman having played with countless U.S.-based Brazilian groups\, including Som Brasil\, Renato Anesi Trio\, A Cor do Brasil\, and led the samba-jazz group Zona Sul. \nDancer: Vanessa Agle Isaac is a performer\, choreographer\, dance educator\, producer\, and writer. She is the artistic director and choreographer for the Vanessa Isaac Dance Company. Her choreography finds inspiration in her homeland\, Brazil. In her work\, she fuses Contemporary dance with Samba and diverse Brazilian dances and rhythms.\nVanessa co-directed and co-produced the show “From Africa To The Americas”. Choreographed and danced for the show of “Raoni\, Um Tango a Brasiliera” music by Brazilian composer Paris Psaros. She has been a guest choreographer and performer for the Los Angeles International Jazz Festival\, Anatomy Riot Contemporary Dance Project in Los Angeles\, Heal the Ocean Organization\, and for the Santa Barbara Choreographers Forum.\nOther illustrious guests: Ronaldo do Bandolim (Mandolin)\, Whatson Cardoso (Clarinet)\, Tiago Souza (mandolin) Mayte Correia (vocals) Felipe Tauil (percussion)\, Jane Lenoir\, (Flute) Brian Moran (Cavaco/guitar) \, Zack Pitt-Smith (Reeds) and the youth choro-stra\, Clarice Cast (Brazilian percussionist in LA) and harpist Liza Wallace (LA) ”\n_______________________________\nLEARN MORE:\nwww.amimo.com FB: @amimolinellihart \n \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n \nTime: 7 – 8 pm\nAdmission: (Online) FREE  \nRSVP to the Facebook event:\n \n \n  \n
